MC14585BCL

Comparators Overview

The MC14585BCL is a 6-bit magnitude comparator manufactured by onsemi in the CMOS technology family. It compares two 6-bit binary words, A and B, to determine their relative magnitude. The device features cascading inputs for expanding comparison capabilities beyond six bits. Key electrical characteristics include a wide supply voltage range and low power consumption typical of CMOS logic. Output states indicate whether A is greater than, less than, or equal to B.

Comparators Feature Summary

• Performs 6-bit binary magnitude comparison between two input words
• Includes cascading inputs to extend comparison width for multi-bit applications
• Outputs provide distinct logic levels for greater than, less than, and equal conditions

Comparators Applications

• Digital arithmetic logic units requiring magnitude decision functions
• Control systems comparing setpoints against measured values
• Data processing circuits needing conditional branching based on numerical order

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BCL' matches the required package type and temperature grade. Confirm that the ordering information aligns with the manufacturer's current datasheet revision. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and signal integrity requirements before finalizing procurement.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated 6-bit comparator is needed within a CMOS logic design. Consider the pinout compatibility if replacing legacy CD4585 equivalents. Evaluate board space constraints as the package size impacts layout density compared to discrete logic solutions.

Comparators Part Context

This part belongs to the standard CMOS 4000/4500 series logic family. It serves as a functional equivalent to other industry-standard 6-bit comparators. The device integrates multiple gates into a single package to reduce component count in digital designs.

Comparators Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives such as the CD4585 from other manufacturers. Verify logical equivalence regarding truth tables and propagation delays. Ensure substitute parts meet the same voltage and temperature specifications.
